Reflections on the cultural and political complexities of translation in global contemporary artistic practices.

The movement of global populations, and subsequently the task of translation, underlies contemporary culture. Economic and environmental migration, forced political exiles, and the plight of refugees are now superimposed upon the intricacies of ancient and modern diasporas, generations of colonization, and the transportation of slaves. This timely anthology considers translation's ongoing role in cultural navigation, empathy, and understanding disparate experiences. It explores the approaches of artists, poets, and theorists in negotiating increasingly protean identities--from the intrinsic intimacy of language, to translation's embedded structures of knowledge production and interaction, to its limitations of expression, and, ultimately, its importance in a world of multiple perspectives.

Great organic cotton rounds
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 3)
I use these every day after I wash my face, I've been buying these for years. Works great, high quality cotton rounds that maintain structural integrity during use, no issues with my sensitive skin, perfect thickness and consistency. Good price and this three-pack lasts ages. Best option for cotton rounds.

High quality
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These are great for sensitive skin. They have a really soft, gentle texture that I haven't found in any other cotton rounds. And they are durable---the layers don't separate---they don't fall apart. These are high quality. Highly recommend.

Great for sensitive skin!
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 3)
I’m so impressed with these cotton pads! They are incredibly soft, super absorbent, and most importantly, non-irritating on my sensitive skin. I love knowing that they are clean and made without any harsh chemicals. Definitely my new go-to!
